hands-on

Summary:

When the conversation came to a lull, Jiwoong was going to head over to his own bed, but Matthew's next words froze him in place.

"By the way, hyung, I watched some clips of your dramas."

Jiwoong knew exactly what kinds of videos of his acting were popular online. He wasn’t ashamed of his past work, but imagining Matthew watching his kiss scenes was making Jiwoong's ears burn.

Notes:

This is a work of fiction based on the likenesses of ZB1 members. It's not reflective of reality and shouldn't be viewed as such. Please do not attempt to share or discuss my works with ZB1 or anyone involved with them.

 

This one's another drabble based on a deleted scene from my first mattwoong work (linked above), but can absolutely be read on its own because the plots are completely separate!

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Work Text:

It was late at night at Planet Camp, after another long day of endless practice.

 

Jiwoong and Matthew were both ready for bedtime, cameras already shut off to give themselves some time to talk freely before actually going to sleep.

 

And since Gyuvin had run off to go see his labelmates, it was just the two of them in the room, sitting on Matthew's bed.

 

As usual, they'd ended up talking about their upcoming performance, going over all the things that still needed perfecting.

 

When the conversation came to a lull, Jiwoong was going to head over to his own bed, but Matthew's next words froze him in place.

 

"By the way, hyung, I watched some clips of your dramas."

 

Jiwoong knew exactly what kinds of videos of his acting were popular online. He wasn't ashamed of his past work, but imagining Matthew watching his kiss scenes was making Jiwoong's ears burn.

 

"I really liked them," Matthew continued, grinning.

 

Jiwoong was wracking his brain for some kind of coherent, appropriate response. "I- uhm- That's great."

 

Matthew's expression faltered, like he'd been expecting a different reaction.

 

"What did you... like about them?" Jiwoong amended cautiously, hoping he was reading the situation correctly.

 

That must've been the case, because Matthew smiled again.

 

"The atmosphere," Matthew replied. "But I wonder how you do it, with the cameras and everything."

 

"I just need to get into the right mood. Then it's only the two of us in my head, no matter what's going on," Jiwoong murmured.

 

"Sounds complicated," Matthew said, in an exaggeratedly confused tone. "I don't know if I get it."

  

"Really? Could I help somehow?" Jiwoong asked, happy to go along with Matthew's playful flirting.

 

"Maybe I'd understand better after a... hands-on demonstration?" Matthew suggested. His gaze was lingering on Jiwoong's lips.

 

"We can try that," Jiwoong hummed, shifting closer to Matthew.

 

"I saw a scene where you were on top..." Matthew trailed off softly.

 

"Want me to demonstrate that one for you?" Jiwoong asked, a smirk tugging on the corner of his mouth.

 

"Yeah," Matthew breathed, already lying down onto his back.

 

Jiwoong followed after him, meeting Matthew's eyes for one last nod of consent before bringing their lips together.

 

He'd planned to keep the initial kiss brief to make sure Matthew wouldn't get overwhelmed, but all concerns escaped Jiwoong's mind when Matthew's tongue found his. Clearly, he was more than comfortable.

 

Jiwoong trailed his hand down Matthew's body, along muscles that would soon be unveiled on stage. The hem of his shirt had ridden up, baring soft skin for Jiwoong to touch.

 

Suddenly, Matthew broke their kiss. "Wait, we can't- What if Gyuvin comes back while we're-"

 

"Shit, you're right," Jiwoong said, withdrawing. "Sorry. I got carried away."

 

"No, no, I was into it!" Matthew replied quickly. "We just don't have enough privacy here to... do stuff."

 

The shift from eager honesty to abrupt self-censorship made Jiwoong smile.

 

"In that case, I think we'll be able to figure something out."

Notes:

In the spirit of my previously mentioned "let's make the most of the time we have left" mindset, I went digging through my scrap files and rediscovered this unfinished scene from back when I'd first started working on 'Debut (with Matthew)' a little over a year ago.

Obviously mattwoong kissing during Boys Planet doesn't fit the finalised plot of that work, so just like the deleted bits that became 'Jiwoon hyung!', I had to cut this scene out. Clearly with some reluctance, since I stashed it away for potential later use.

I'm pretty much always working on multi-thousand-word fics, and sometimes progress on those can feel super slow (and also genuinely is slow, there are some WIPs that I've been trying to finish for a well over year now), so being able to wrap up a little drabble every now and then is very refreshing.

As usual, comments are welcome!
